SATURDAYS issue of the Ecery Eren-
ing in addition to renewing its editor
ial endorsement of the Constitutional
Reform movement, published an ad-
dress signed by forty-five leading Dem
Ocrats of New Castle county urging the
attention of the voters of that county
to the importance of the movement. In
it they say:
We believe that majority of the
people of the State are unequivocallV
IN favor of holding a convention, and
that, If each man so thinking will take
the trouble to put his views into prac-
tice, the vote at the special election
will not only be sufficient, but. being
cast at a special election will be more
impressive, because not complicated
with general political issues.
3" We believe that action upon this
subject should be initiated by Demo-
Gratis, and that while Republicans of
the State who favor the holding of a
convention are expected to Cooperate
in bringing about the desired result, it
is proper for those who are members of
the party now absolutely in control of
the State government, to take the first
step in the direction of organization
with respect to this election.
We therefore urge upon our fellow
citizens throughout the county to take
Immediate measures for the Organiza-
ton in each hundred and town, of those
voters who are in favor of the conven-
ton, to the end that there NAV be
promptly formed through these hun
dred organizations a county organiza-
ton which shall take the necessary
measures for full, free and ample dis
eussion Of this important subject be-
fore the people of the county, and for
the vigorous prosecution of a short,
but sharp, and we trust, decisive cam
paign during the month preceding the
election"
Smyrna times., 1887-08-31

Now that a number of leading Dem
Ocrats have come out for a COnstitu-
tional Convention, with the mass Of
Republicans acquiescing with any
movement in this direction and none
of either party so bold as to declare
themselves determinedly against it, it
would really seem as if majority Of
the ballots of the state might be cast
for it at the appointed time in Novem-
Der. The crust has evidently been
broken, the grasp of bourbOnism is
weakened and the people of the State
are unquestiOnably prepared for reform
as never before.

Before the EsnnirA

ON Thursday night last, in the vicin-
lty OF the Rink, the neighbOrhoOd was
startled by the cries of female voice
They were found to proceed from the
wife of William Whortenbury. coIored
who with a stone or bat in each hand
mad Waylald him and his dusky maid
on whom William was bestowing un-
usual affection. In the melee the Distol
which she was trying to take away
from him was dropped, and he took leg
bail before an officer could come to the
rescue. The next day the wife an
peared before Squire Colt and made
complaint that her husband was not
giving her adequate support, spending
his money on another female. who
had destroyed their happiness. and
made other complaints of i'll treatment.
The Squire could not restore the
broken affections, but he could and did
hold the guilty culprit amenable to the
law for carrying q concealed, deadly
weapon, to bail in the sum of 5000, and
1t looked at one time as if he would
have to go to Jail, requiring six hours
to get proper bondsman. Notwith-
standing all this the next morning be-
fore sun-up William was soen hanging
over the garden wall of his inamorata,
Squire Colt had on Monday another
case more serious in its legal aspect. A
colored girl named Anna Cubbage,
some 10 or l6 years of age, complained
that three boys of the same age or older
followed her a mile or more from
,Whopping while op her way TO her
home in the country on Sunday even
ing, and on coming to lane seized and
tried to drag her in it, Her cries called

The New Town of Hager.

In Pierce county, Wisconsin, located
on the G. b. & n. r. K. just across the
river from Red Wing, Mimi, offers a
field to business men seeking good
locations. a large volume of trade
has for long series of years passed
over the river to Red Wing. This
trade should be handled by the people
of Pierce county within their own
boundaries. and the recent completion
of the C. B. & n. K. r. has put this
result within the reach of Pierce
county business men.
1t is probable that good lime and
brick could be manufactured near by,
and investigation might show good
opportunities for some who are en-
gagged in these branches or business.
Inquiries regarding the town of
Hager should be addressed to st. Paul

is always some one on the ground TO

The Gladstone.

The opening of our new hotel which
took place Tuesday night last, was a
decided success, and, bringing togeth-
er as it did large majority of our best
citizens, it proved an occasion not only
of feasting and frolic, but one emf
nently calculated to renew acquaintan-
tances and yield great social profit.
The elegant hotel Gladstone" with
its excellent appointments was much
admired by the large assembly, and
responded to the plaudits of the
guests by furnishing repast eminent
ly in keeping with the occasion, and
speaking volumes for the ability of the
host and hostess to cater to public
tastes. The banquet supper COM
menced at ?. NJ. with Hon. j. ID.
Putnam at the head of the table, and
was discussed with gusto for nearly
an hour, after which several after
supper speeches were made, conclud-
ing which the guests retired to the
spacious parlors for music and varied
social enjoyments, making room for a
second laying of plates demanded by
waiting guests.
The dancing of the occasion took
place in Bracket Hall and WAS partic-
ipated in by a large number of our
young people, who at eleven O'Clock
repaired to the Gladstone for supper,
after which the dancing was resumed
and continued to a late hour. The
entertainment from first to last was
one affording great satisfaction to the
guests, and giving to the citizens of
River Falls the gratifying assurance
that in no city of its size can there be
found a more complete or better APP
pointed hotel than the Gladstone.
